I tried a few dishes here, and overall, the food turned out pretty good.
• Pineapple Fried Rice with Tofu (Medium Spice): Really tasty and well-balanced. The pineapple added a nice sweetness that worked perfectly with the spices.
• Yellow Curry with Tofu: Decent but nothing too special. It’s okay if you’re craving curry, but not a standout.
• Fried Rice with Basil: The star of my order! Very flavorful and aromatic—definitely the best dish I had.
As for the place itself, the ambience is just okay—a small spot with plenty of parking, which is a plus. Service is fast and efficient, no complaints there.
The only drawback is the pricing. Portions felt a bit on the smaller side compared to other restaurants offering similar dishes, so it did feel slightly expensive for what you get.
Overall: Good food (especially the basil fried rice), quick service, but I’d say value for money could be better.

This is my favorite Thai restaurant I’ve ever been to, I’m not from Champaign but every chance I get I come to this place when I’m in town. My favorite dish is the tom yum soup and they also have the best crab Rangoon ever. Very consistently good and always fresh.

Fantastic experience and I’ll certainly be back! The staff were incredibly friendly, the food was delicious, and while I was a little hesitant at the price, the portion makes it well worth it. This will easily stretch to 3 meals.

I came here late at night with my mom looking for some great food and this place delivered! The Pho here is top tier!!! If you get anything off this menu the Pho is a must. The service here is amazing and the food is so good we came back the next day!!

Friendly service.
A small family run restaurant to serve authentic flavorful Thai food. Food was brought to table in few minutes
Thai iced coffee was good
Crab rangoon was very different from the usual ones available in other restaurants. It was not sweet but savory and crunchy with celery. We liked it
Fish cakes were very good.
Mama chicken soup’s portion size was large It was good
Beef Drunken noodles – very good
Beef Panang curry was good. Came with aromatic jasmine rice
Medium spice level was good enough to enjoy the flavors of the food. For intense heat level, there is hot level to request
Sticky rice with mangoes was below average
Pricey though.

Really great Thai food. The Yellow Curry was fantastic. Mild has some kick to it, I wouldn’t recommend ordering a spice level beyond mild if you cannot hand a lot of spice. A little pricey, but the food quality is worth it. I’m not from this area, but I would return if I was going through the area in the future.

5***** all the way. My favorite was the Mango Sticky Rice. Really wish I lived nearby to come back. The only complaint is the price. I would lessen the portion size a bit and make some dishes under $20. Wouldn’t be affordable to come here often. -Two of us split a meal and still spent $60 (one app, one dish, one dessert). This is truly a wonderful restaurant, friendly staff, and fantastic food.

Great Thai food in HUGE portions! It’s not in the campus area, but it’s right off the highway and a perfect place to eat after a long drive.
We got 2 noodle dishes and they were both good. If you ask for added heat, beware: they will REALLY spice up the dish. It’s cooked exactly as you order.
The service was wonderful. We stopped near closing, but the host was very patient taking our order and serving.
My only complaint is the prices. They are very very expensive. Much more expensive than most Asian places around campus. Even though we ordered basic noodle dishes, each dish was over $20 after tax.
It’s a good place for Thai food, but with those prices, I’m not sure if I’ll be back. No regrets though; it was worth trying!

Will add photos when I go back, cuz trust…this will be a weekly spot for me from now on! The portions are absolutely MASSIVE, everything is FRESH, and the prices are ABSOLUTELY spot on for the two reasons listed prior in this sentence. Best Chicken Pad Thai of my life (#58), best Thai tea of my life, and warm welcoming environment with exceptionally friendly/down to earth staff.

Out of all the restaurants I have been on Urbana Champaign Savoy area, this is my best. Great food! We tried Crab Rangoon, Papaya Salad, Duck, and other food. All of those were really great!
